C Correct answer
Explanation

Historical records indicate that the Sinhalese king of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) sought Raja Raja Chozhan's help against internal rebellions and offered him the crown. While Raja Raja Chozhan didn't personally rule Sri Lanka, he invaded and annexed the northern part (Anuradhapura kingdom) to the Chola Empire. Indonesia, Maldives, and India were not kingdoms that offered him their crown.
